Phoenix sweats most but Miami suffers more Wed Jun 14, 4:27 PM ET


NEW YORK (Reuters) - Phoenix on Wednesday was named the sweatiest city
in the United States, but Miami topped the list as the most
uncomfortable American city due to its mix of humidity and heat.

The fifth annual sweat survey sponsored by Procter & Gamble Co. handed
the dubious distinction to the Arizona capital for the third time. El
Paso, Texas, earned the title in 2004 and San Antonio, Texas, in 2002.

The study of 100 cities estimates the amount of sweat a person of
average weight and height would produce walking around for an hour in
the average high temperatures of a particular city during June, July
and August.

The latest survey found that the average Phoenix resident produced 26
ounces (0.77 litre) of sweat per hour during a typical summer day last
year when the desert city's high temperature averaged 93.3 F (34 C).

It means that in under three hours, Phoenix residents collectively
produced enough sweat to fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool, said Jay
Gooch, sweat expert at Old Spice, a Procter & Gamble Co. antiperspirant
brand.

But Gooch said Phoenix's humidity was only 22 percent, making it much
more comfortable than Miami, with average temperatures last year of
83.9 F (29 C) and humidity of 76 percent, according to government
figures.

"In Phoenix you sweat much more than in Miami, but it evaporates
quickly as it is such dry air so you don't notice as much. In Miami the
sweat stays on your skin," said Gooch.

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA And smelly Erica Oyen really needs those 5 showers a
day!
